Post occupancy evaluation can be particularly valuable to repeat developers and may be a requirement of some funding bodies.

−	Post occupancy evaluation (equivalent to RIBA stages L2: initial occupation services and L3: post occupation evaluation services) is the process of evaluating the development ~~in use~~ to determine; how successful the delivery of the project was, how successful the completed development is, where there is potential for further improvement, and what lessons can be learned for future projects. Post occupancy evaluation can be particularly valuable to repeat developers and may be a requirement of some funding bodies. We describe the stage as post occupancy evaluation rather than 'initial occupation services' and 'post occupation evaluation services' to avoid the proliferation of stages. In practice, post occupancy evaluation may begin during the defects liability period.	+	Post occupancy evaluation (equivalent to RIBA stages L2: initial occupation services and L3: post occupation evaluation services) is the process of evaluating the development to determine; how successful the delivery of the project was, how successful the completed development is, where there is potential for further improvement, and what lessons can be learned for future projects.

	#Post occupancy evaluations may be carried out by an in house team, or by members of the consultant team or independent client advisers (we attribute them below to a consultant for simplicity of presentation). However, as post occupancy evaluation is likely to take place after the main construction contract has been completed, consultant team appointments may also be completed (unless post occupation services were a specific requirement of the original appointment). If such services were not a requirement of the original appointments then new appointments may be necessary. Go to work stage: Management contract: appointment.		#Post occupancy evaluations may be carried out by an in house team, or by members of the consultant team or independent client advisers (we attribute them below to a consultant for simplicity of presentation).
